Lee Ofsted just makes the cut for the Pacific Western Woman's Pro-Am golf tournament. She's never hit the ball better -- but for some reason, her drives keep slicing. But this isn't the only mystery -- soon Lee discovers the body of the tour's star at the bottom of the course lake. Enter Lieutenant Graham Sheldon. He's charming, handsome, and determined to capture the killer -- as well as Lee's heart. But the murder has triggered buried anger and jealousy among the players, and with a diabolical killer on the loose, Lee finds that making par is the least of her problems

If there is one thing the young golfer Lee Ofsted doesn't have on her mind, it is her chances of being selected for the Stewart Cup Tournament { the competition that pits the greatest American golfers, male and female, against their British and European counterparts. Lee is on no one's list of the !'greatest American golfers,"" so it comes as a surprise when the great Roger Finley, captain of the American team, invites her to play. She's on the team, but exhilaration soon gives way to anxiety. Can she deliver? However, as play begins, Lee's worries about making a fool of herself take second place when Roger!&amp;s devoted long-time caddie is found murdered, and Lee herself is the victim of an attempt on her life. It takes all of Lee's nerve and natural talent to see the competition through, to keep out of the gunsights of a resourceful killer, and, in the end, to make sense of a bizarre and paradoxical mystery.

How do you murder someone with lightning? When Ted Guthrie, the most hated man at the Cottonwood Creek Country Club in Los Alamos, New Mexico, is found dead on the golf course after a thunderstorm, it seems like an act of God. But the death kills struggling beginner Lee Ofsted's first chance at winning on the women's pro circuit as well. After a record-breaking opening round at the High Desert Classic, she injures her arm trying to revive Ted. So when the coroner suspects the lightning strike was no accident, Lee sees red instead of green. At twenty-three, playing the tour on a shoestring, and dedicated to the game, Lee has talent, courage, and an intuitive sense for seeing the way things lie... whether they're golf balls or nasty plots for murder. She senses something foul in this tournament, and she's soon teamed with her lover, California cop Graham Sheldon, to make her snooping a twosome. She's certain someone close to the game is the culprit, and all of the country club's colorful characters are suspect... from the old geezer holding a golf umbrella near the body to her own cranky old caddy, Lou.

A Dangerous Talent (An Alix London Mystery, 1)

From the outside, Alix London appears to have it all: a glamorous career as an art consultant, a sumptuous condo in Seattle’s toniest neighborhood, a gorgeous figure, and a presence that positively exudes Ivy League breeding and old money. Unfortunately for Alix, what you see isn’t exactly what you get. A brilliant, once-promising art student, the daughter of a prominent New York art conservator, Alix and her world were left in ruins when her father went to prison for art forgery. Now a Harvard dropout with an emptied bank account, she is languishing in a career that has produced little more than a lucky house-sitting gig.
Then she meets Christine Lemay, a novice art collector with deep pockets and a handle on a recently discovered painting by American master Georgia O’Keeffe. Chris needs the painting authenticated, and Alix’s career desperately needs the boost that will come from such a high-profile assignment. But when an attempted art theft goes horribly wrong, Alix is plunged into a tangled web of forgery, deceit—and murder. Only her connoisseur’s eye (and a little unlikely help from her roguish father) can give the FBI the expertise they need to crack the case…assuming the killer doesn’t come for her next. Witty and surprising, A Dangerous Talent introduces a clever and enchanting new sleuth to the ranks of American detective fiction.
